Shorts and flip flops- it must be a gringo

[jrhartley]

I suppose some people would like it if everyone was like the stepford wives ....but it would be rather boring dont you think, by the way I usually wear long trousers to go to Santiago - id wear camoflage if it would help me not get noticed lol - some people like to stand out even if its in a bad way

RSG,
You are the epitome of why most people are here in the first place. Do you really think that Joe Schmoe the tourist gives a rat's a$$ what you think of him? Do you honestly think that another's attire affects your position in life. If somebody wears shorts, it lowers your standing as a fellow caucasian?

I couldn't give 2 sh1ts what you think of me wearing shorts when I go to shop in Santiago during the daytime. The thought of being uncomfortably hot for the 1.5 hour car ride just to placate your feelings of insecurity is a laugh in itself.

Yes, AZB chimes in on this subject on a regular interval. You could almost set your atomic clock to the regularity that AZB comes on here to spout off about how he dates the prettiest of the women in the Dominican Republic. Then when you meet him, you understand WHY he is in the DR. Not going to get that calibre of hotness in the USA with your looks are you AZB?

Of course, Robert lets it boil for a while because everybody knows he's as much of an elitist as the Pakistan Man himself. No offense to you Robert: I hold a great deal of respect to you as a businessman. Let's face it though, your ideas of self superiority are pretty close to AZB's.

When I go out at night, I always wear long pants and a collar shirt as a general rule. Such is the norm, and there's not much sense in going against it. But, eff you if you think that I'll bend to your will and sweat through a hot day in the car then shopping in Santiago just because you don't want to see my lilly-white legs. I'll wear what I'm comfortable in period. My self esteem is not as low as yours that I'm affected by what those around me wear.

When I used to dine in Chinatown in T.O., I didn't smirk just because somebody asked for a fork because they couldn't use the chopsticks. I wasn't embarassed when a fellow caucasian ordered white-meat only at the KFC at Jane/Finch. Who give's a dang what those around you are doing. In fact, it's a good thing that you live in the DR, because I can guarantee you wouldn't fit into a more multicultural city like Toronto or New York.

So keep on spouting off about your prejudices. It only demonstrates just how ignorant YOU are.

And for your information, I've dined with many people in my life from the PM of canada to the leader of the Hell's Angels. Any of them would tell you the same thing: Eff off and mind your own business!

So i guess you agree with me because you yourself said that you wear pants and a shirt at night. If you would read all the post i myself stated i could understand wearing shorts during the day.

And as far as your negative comments on AZB and robert..hook, line, and sink you fish guy.

RSG:

I only wear pants in Santiago, but your nasty arrogant approach to educate other tourists is deplorable. If Joe Tourist wants to wear Bay Watch wear, it does not reflect on me, nor do I GIVE A RAT's A$$.

Wipe the poo off your nose when you get a chance, it clashes with your chinos!
